Professional Document Translation
We provide a complete document translation service.
Authorities requesting the apostille often require certified translations of documents before they will accept the original. By providing a certified translation of your document you are assisting the overseas organisation in understanding the content of your UK document. Do not assume the will accept the English version alone. Find out if they need a translation. From standard translations to certified or sworn translations, we can help!
Standard Translation Service
Every translation we provide is produced by a qualified translator and then certified and sealed by one of the translation team. Every effort is made to maintain the formatting of documents whilst completing orders quickly. A standard translation may not be suitable for countries that require a ‘Sworn Translation’.
Not all translations can be completed at these prices. Please only order if instructed to do so by a member of the team.

Translation FAQ’s
The term certified translation has no definitive meaning in the United Kingdom as there is no formal translation system and, because of this, there is no official list of ‘certified translators’. We add our own certification to all translations.
We occasionally hear from clients who require an ‘authorised translation’. In most cases our translation service, as described above, would be sufficient. However, this term may be used to refer to a translation that has been completed by the respective embassy or by a translator registered with this embassy. If this is the case then our standard translation service may not be suitable. Our sworn translation service would be suitable in many cases here.
It is the responsibility of the customer to check if there are any specific translation requirements in their individual case. You should seek advice from the person requesting the translation if they have any specific requirements for the translation and inform us at the time of order.
No, as standard we do not bind the translation to the original document for two reasons.
The first is to prevent any issues with legalising the original document. It can be problematic when legalising a document with the apostille if a translation has been attached. The UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office will often request that any translation attached to a document is removed before the apostille certificate is issued.
The second is to prevent damaging the original document. You may need to use the document in an official capacity in the future without a translation attached
The content of the source document will be translated in full barring a few exceptions. Any logos or signatures may be excluded to prevent copyright infringement. In these instances a general description of the omitted item may be given in place of this.
Once the translation has been completed this will be proofread for accuracy. We will then attach a cover sheet to the translation certifying this to be an accurate translation to the best of our knowledge. This cover sheet will include our contact details and an authentication reference should anyone wish to verify that we completed a translation in the future.
